21 across (4) C?A? Rabbit caught by bowler, say. Can`t crack this one for the life of me - any solver`s explanation much appreciated.

Many thanks, mac44 and dannyk13. "RABBIT" meaning "CHAT" - slang always fools me - still living in the 19th century, I suppose.

Now, now, aelmpvw - it wasn`t meant to be taken literally - but I suppose it`s closer to the truth than I would wish to acknowledge.

Scorpiojo, not sure what your little symbol means or, more interestingly, what your (new?) emblem signifies. However, I did see your reply to another enquirer who had not acknowledged your efforts and therefore left you feeling rather neglected. Believe me, I ,for one ,often see and appreciate your solutions.

Chris, the emblem is a small smiley face, and my avatar is my birth sign..and that is a very kind comment, thank you.
